Romance

Jaci Burton’s newest rom-com DESIGNS ON YOU is written in the same universe as last year’s release Housebroke with the main characters being brothers and sisters to each other.   Natalie Parker is finally back on the right track. After divorcing her husband who only wanted her at home or being his pretty accessory, she is raising her two young children and growing her client list as an interior designer.   Her relationship with her sister Hazel is better and she adores Hazel’s boyfriend, Linc. When they ask for her help creating a perfect backyard for their rescue dogs, the only problem is Linc’s brother, video game designer Eugene, who recently moved to Florida to work on a new project. 

Eugene is gorgeous and a constant flirt but most distressing, years younger than she. When attraction leads to more, Natalie must battle her insecurities to decide if she can risk her hard-fought independence for a future.

Sweet and easy read.

SUMMARY

Sparks fly when an interior designer and a game designer cross paths, but they must learn if they can design a happily ever after in this heartfelt romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton.

Natalie Parker is in her mid-thirties, divorced, and firmly focused on her newly resurrected career and her two children. When her sister asks her to help design the backyard in the new home she shares with her boyfriend, Linc, Natalie’s more than happy to take on the project. What she isn’t prepared for is Linc’s younger brother, video game designer Eugene Kennedy. He’s smart, incredibly good-looking, and constantly flirts with Natalie. He’s also too young for her, which makes him totally off-limits.

Eugene is intrigued by Natalie’s beauty, smarts, and especially her sarcastic wit. When he teases her, she throws it right back at him. Besides that, they have an instant chemistry, but she keeps trying to get rid of him despite the sparks that fly between them. And Eugene never backs down from a challenge. 

Natalie is running out of reasons to think being with Eugene is a bad thing. Her kids adore him, her sister loves him, and even her always negative mother does, too. The only person holding her back is...her. Maybe it’s time she take that leap and design herself a love for the ages. After all, if she can create the perfect home, she sure as hell can design a happily ever after.
